Lets's calculate LCM of 224,9885
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2214240
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/2214240
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5229/224,1746/9885 is 9/2214240
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 224,9885 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(224,9885) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(224,9885) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(224,9885) = ( 224 × 9885 ) / 1
LCM(224,9885) = 2214240 / 1
LCM(224,9885) = 2214240
